Re: Charter Node?
said by cypherstream  :Oh that's the power supply for the node. Outside if you see those green or grey boxes on poles (sometimes with the words Alpha or Lectro on them), one of these are inside it, along with batteries. Buzzing noise could of been from a really noisy transformer in the last unit. You really don't need battery backups on that unit (and you don't appear to have any) as the node serves just that building and not a whole neighborhood. Those SA Gainmaker 860 MHz nodes are really nice. Much smaller than the SA node in the original post. That node will last you many years of trouble free operation. Err yea power supply is what i meant not amp. We happen to use 2 blonder tongue amps you can see in the one picture. |

Yeah, I'm afraid that we might not have much luck with them. Our system is only 750 MHz, it's completely maxed out with 77 analog channels, 36 HD channels, and the standard mix of digital, 6 VOD and 1 HSI channel. Unless they are running metro Ethernet on another fiber wavelength, I doubt the'll offer it. I'm hoping to find out otherwise though. |

Any idea if a node or splice point is near your location?
In a big city ive gotten 15mbit for as low as $800/mo. Ive gotten 10mbit for $750, and 5mbit for $600. In a smaller city ive gone as much as $1600 for 10mb base burstable to 40mbit based on 95th% billing, but also got a 10mbit p2p cheap to another office a few miles down the road.
It looks like XO communcations services your city from their network map, you may want to check into them. They can offer ethernet over copper if you live close enough to a lit CO, should be able to get 10mbit for $1000. Ive been quoted a full ds3 including loop and port for $2000 a month which is really cheap for 45mbit. |
